Super Bowl FUN in Tampa Suggestion
The Super Bowl is coming to Tampa. It is always so much fun. This time we all need to be extra careful. Here is our suggestion. Take a walk on the Tampa Riverwalk before the crowds arrive. Everything is already sold out so you will not get in anyway. We arrived in separate cars to meet friends around 6pm. There is still social distancing and lots of fresh outside air. You can see a lot before the sun goes down. After sunset the Tampa Riverwalk is all light up with art installations. We stopped in front of the convention center for a drink before walking back. Don’t for get to bring your fur babies too. Go Bucs!!!! TODAY (1-28-21) Tampa Mayor Jane Castro is requiring masks outside too.

You Just Can Not Make This Up
The year was 1977. We were very young and in a downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota un-named Gay bar. There was a big motorcycle convention in town. Late one night some bikers got very drunk and decided to teach the fags a lesson. About 8 of them stumbled into the Gay bar with chains just a swinging and yelling. Their big mistake was that this was a hardcore Gay Leather bar!!! Of course, the gays fought back. With in minutes the bikers were on the floor. Then they took the bikers, boots, jeans and underwear off. Then tossed them back onto Hennepin Ave. naked. They never came back. I wonder what story they told the other bikers???

You Just Can Not Make This Up
I was very lucky to Barend with one of the most beautiful real women in Ybor City, who was blessed with rather large chest. Not only beautiful but very flighty and fun. One day there were 2 straight guys, from some small town up north, giving us a hard time. Finally, she had enough and said “OK, just stop it guys or do we have to pull out our dicks and see who’s is the biggest? I’m ready and I know I will win!” They looked at me and I said “That’s why we call HIM Daddy” They guys looked like dear in headlight. Sat down ad didn’t give us anymore trouble. LMAO
